Great introduction to Canyon Road area - Elaine was a fantastic tour guide for the Canyon Road tour. Her enthusiasm for the art, culture and history of the area taught us a lot about this dynamic part of Santa Fe. She asked us at the beginning what we were most interested in and tailored her information to focus on that. Very friendly and a lot of fun to spend a couple of hours with. I highly recommend!

Art and history unleashed - Our guide, Mary made this a truly wonderful and educational experience. She knew the rich history of the area and encouraged us to express our thoughts and interpretations of the various art pieces that caught our interest. We were also able to meet and talk to some of the artists.. Canyon Road is a real treasure

Best art walk ever - So much information and so well presented. Enjoyed every minute and highly recommend this tour. Not only was the historic importance of this place well explained but the interactive way of looking at art made time fly by so fast.

This was an extremely... - This was an extremely interesting tour not to be missed if you are interested in viewing art and/ or learng a better way to objectively evaluate art shown at many of the famous Santa Fe Canyon Sreet art studios. Learn the history of Santa Fe and it's fascinating connections to the many Native American tribes and their important skills that made many of their every day useful items that have become valuable artistic collector's items today. All brought to by your wonderful art historian and artist in her own right who obviously loves to share her knowledge as your guide. One of the best tours I have experienced.

Elaine selected the perfect galleries to provide a good cross-section of artistic achievements. It was a wonderful tour, and I would highly recommend it. Thank you, Elaine, and good luck in the future.

A lot of time was spent... - A lot of time was spent on group activities, sharing ideas about what a piece of art means. I would rather have listened to the guide’s expertise and looked at more art. For this much money I don’t want to feel like a 9 year old
